Exquisite Diamond Jewelry Pieces

Diamonds are prized across multiple cultures for their beauty and strength. They are especially popular for adorning rings, earrings and necklaces. However, pieces studded with diamond stones seem to be affordable only to a fortunate few, for a number of reasons.

First, diamonds undergo a complex journey from kimberlite and lamproite volcanic pipes, where the high pressures and temperatures bring them to the surface. All the way from central and southern Africa, Canada, India and other parts of the world, the newly-cut stones are shipped to Belgium, London and New York, where they are mounted into jewelry or sold to retail firms.

In addition, diamonds are then carefully cut by craftsmen into different shapes to enhance their beauty and ability to reflect light.
A diamond is one of the most versatile materials known to man. The second most stable form of carbon, they are famed for their absolute hardness. The word diamond comes from the ancient Greek word “adamas,” meaning unbreakable. Measuring 10 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, diamonds are 58 times harder than stones ranking a 9. Diamonds are ideal for cutting and grinding applications such as drill bits and saws. Cheaper industrial-grade diamonds are used for these purposes.

However, diamonds are still best known as the world’s most coveted gemstone. These jewels have been in use as decorative items since the dawn of humanity, referenced in Sanskrit texts and the works of Pliny. Now, Valentin Magro offers the same ancient beauties to you.
